ROSE PRINCE Dinner & Party

From Telegraph journalist Rose Prince, comes the only book you’ll ever need for effortless, elegant entertaining.

Packed with impressive recipes to feed a crowd, Dinner & Party makes cooking for friends and family stylish, interesting and simple.

Rose’s stance on entertaining is that the cook shouldn’t be banished to the kitchen. Cooking for friends and family needn’t be fussy or hard to juggle, but instead made up of dishes that can be prepared in advance, dressed up to impress last minute and enjoyed by everyone. With this in mind, Part 1: Dinner showcases easy options for every course, all alongside thoughtful advice about how to source ingredients, when to begin preparation and how to serve. Part 2: Party provides tried and tested catering ideas for larger groups, from indoor picnics, to standing parties and Christmas dinners.

Including sample menus and dinner party etiquette for the twenty-first century, this is the friendly, practical guide to making entertaining easy.

Rose Prince has over fifteen years experience writing and campaigning within the food industry. Rose has two columns in the Telegraph and is the author of four cookbooks, The New English Kitchen (2005), The New English Table (2008), Kitchenella (2010), which was shortlisted for a Galaxy Award, and The Pocket Bakery (2013). She also runs a popular cookery school from her own home in Dorset.
